Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God

The door knocker opened gently, and Ye Ting stepped into the principal’s office.

This was his second time here, but unlike the last time when he was teleported in from the restricted corridor, this time he walked in through the main entrance with dignity.

There were still a lot of silverware and books in the office.

As soon as he walked in, the portraits of past Hogwarts principals hanging on the wall seemed to be injected with life, and one by one they”woke up” from the paintings.

Last time they had been pretending to sleep in the frame, but now they all opened their eyes wide and looked at Ye Ting curiously.

“After seeing him twice, he is nothing special, right?”A witch with an exaggerated frilly lace collar said.

Ye Ting saw the name under the picture frame: Elizabeth Burke.

He knew this person. She was a witch from the Elizabethan era. Like Phineas, she was a cold-blooded Slytherin and a pure-blood supremacist.

“Humph, don’t be silly,” a witch in green clothes snorted disdainfully,”Dumbledore said that this kid is different from others and must have his own strengths.”

“Yes, yes, I can feel the special aura of this child.”Armando Dippet interrupted excitedly

“You are just a painting, what do you know?” Elizabeth sneered

“Humph, don’t underestimate us, the people in the painting. In our time, people who believed in their feelings often lived better than those who didn’t.”Another witch said

“Oh? Are you proud of losing to Peeves?”Elizabeth fired at full force.

The portraits of the headmasters were arguing in front of Ye Ting as if they had forgotten his existence.

Only one witch with an elegant posture and a dignified expression nodded slightly to Ye Ting,”Professor Dumbledore asked you to wait here for a moment.”

Ye Ting nodded to indicate that he understood.

However, in a portrait next to him, Phineas Black, wearing the silver-green school robes of Slytherin, snorted disdainfully.

“”In my time at Hogwarts,” he said with disdain,”a……”

He seemed to want to utter an insulting word, but the other headmaster portraits looked at him sideways, so he could only clear his throat awkwardly and change the subject:”How can a wizard from a Muggle family be worthy of stepping into the headmaster’s office of Hogwarts, twice?”

“”Phineas, if you keep speaking without restraint, I’ll teach you a lesson.” A wizard with a red nose glared at him and warned him sternly.

Phineas was obviously accustomed to such threats.

Although he restrained himself a little, he still stubbornly insisted on his own opinion:”I’m just telling the truth!”

“That’s just because you are ignorant!”

An irritable witch yelled at him,”Choosing you as the successor principal was my biggest mistake!”

Ye Ting’s eyes fell on the text below the portrait, and he learned that the angry witch was Phineas’s former principal-Eupragia Moore.

Phineas was obviously afraid of Eupraxia. He subconsciously touched his nose, then silently retreated to a corner of the portrait and said no more.

Eupraxia turned to face Ye Ting with a gentle and kind smile on her face.

He didn’t know before that the principals were so interesting now…

It is not difficult to understand why these principals pay so much attention to Ye Ting.

After all, Professor Dumbledore rarely invites students to step into the principal’s office, let alone visit twice in a semester.

As the principals quieted down, Ye Ting was finally able to calm down and look at the room. The

Mirror of Erised in the room had been moved into the restricted area.

Revealing what was hidden behind the mirror at the time.

For example, a stone round basin.

A simple stone round basin Quietly placed on a high stool, it was the Pensieve – a magical prop that could store and reproduce memories. Just immerse your head in the basin and you can experience those memories firsthand.

This is not only a precious magical item, but also an excellent system collection.

On the perch behind the door, Professor Dumbledore’s pet phoenix, Fawkes, stood elegantly. It seemed to have sensed Ye Ting’s gaze, glanced at him lightly, and then shook its gorgeous tail, as if to greet him. The phoenix is a very rare magical creature. Only two appeared in the original book. I believe that if you collect it, you will definitely get a very formal reward.

Ye Ting felt from the last time that this room was like a huge treasure house. Every item he saw seemed to be worth collecting, and he wished he could collect them all.

About five minutes later, Dumbledore’s figure finally appeared in the principal’s office.

“Mr. Ye Ting, please take a seat~.”

Dumbledore smiled and blinked, and greeted him enthusiastically,”Come, try the chocolate milk first, it’s sweet but not greasy, I personally like it very much.”

As he said, Dumbledore gently waved his wand and tapped the table lightly.

In an instant, the table was filled with a dazzling array of delicacies: in addition to the chocolate milk just mentioned, there was also a plate of attractively colored candies, a bunch of cockroaches, and a few pieces of strawberry mousse mentioned in the secret language just passed.

“”Easy, kid, you must be thirsty!” Professor Dumbledore kindly handed Ye Ting a large glass of chocolate milk.

Ye Ting nodded slightly in thanks, then took a sip of the drink. The sweet and warm taste seemed to melt the winter cold and reach the bottom of his heart.

Then, Dumbledore took out the clockwork beetle.

“This is a truly amazing work, Ye Ting.”

Dumbledore exclaimed sincerely,”You have only been at Hogwarts for less than half a year, and you have come up with such creativity and inventions. It is truly amazing. You are even better than I thought, and you are worthy of being a student of Ravenclaw.””

“No, no, this is just my little idea, it’s no big deal.”Ye Ting modestly pointed to the universe with his fingers.

“No, this is not just a small idea.”

Dumbledore said sincerely,”You may not realize that this little invention of yours may lead a revolution in the wizarding world. Some people even said that it is not an exaggeration for you to receive ten Merlin badges for this.���An old friend of mine said this about you.”

No, Ye Ting understood this very well, because this little invention itself originated from a simple result of a discipline that has brought about earth-shaking changes in a certain country.

But Ye Ting was curious about another thing:

“Your friend is……”

“Nicolas Flamel, you should be familiar with this name.”Dumbledore smiled and revealed the answer.

“Of course, the greatest alchemist in the world today, the inventor of the Philosopher’s Stone, and the longest-lived wizard alive today, is said to be over 600 years old.”

“664 years old, to be exact.”But I am very happy to be friends with Nick.”

At this point, Dumbledore smiled,”But I did not ask you to come here today to talk about his brilliant achievements. In fact, I sent your little invention to Nico, and he admired your achievements more than I did, and even tried to imitate you – unfortunately, he failed.”

As he said that, Dumbledore pushed the beetle in his hand forward. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Ye Ting took the beetle and immediately found the problem keenly.

Although the clockwork beetle in front of him looks exactly like his own product, there are still many different details.

More importantly, after peeling off its carapace, Ye Ting did not see the blue magic crystal, nor did he find any traces of magic engraved by himself.

All this shows a truth: it is not his work, but an imitation, and it is most likely made by Nick Flamel.

Ye Ting let it fly around again and roughly understood the performance of the imitation.

The function is the same as Ye Ting’s clockwork beetle, but without the magic crystal, continue Its navigation ability is very worrying, and its intelligence is not high, so it is stupid to carry out tasks.

If Ye Ting’s clockwork beetles are also at this level, he will not let them help him issue bounties in the four colleges.

However, even so, Ye Ting has to admit that Nicolas Flamel is worthy of being the greatest alchemist.

Ye Ting had just released the clockwork beetle product for less than a week, and Dumbledore bought it in less than three days, plus the time it took for the owl to send the letter back and forth, which means that Nicolas Flamel made a replica in less than a day after seeing his work. The average alchemist cannot even completely disassemble the clockwork beetle in this amount of time.

But when Ye Ting expressed his admiration, Dumbledore shook his head.

“In fact, both Nico and I feel that this imitation is a failure – because he did not imitate the most critical performance of this beetle at all.”

Dumbledore sighed,”More importantly, in order to achieve the same performance, the materials he used in the manufacturing process are too expensive, and the magic he cast is also very difficult. In other words, if he were to make this kind of toy, he would not be able to keep the cost below 30 Galleons.”

After that, Dumbledore looked at Ye Ting with admiration in his eyes:”This is what we think is the most amazing thing about you. You can sell this beetle for 30 Galleons, which means your cost is lower, right?��？”

The biggest benefit of the Industrial Revolution in the Muggle world is that it infinitely reduced the cost of various tools.

Whether it is mass-produced products or the machines themselves.

The steam engine of 1700 AD could actually be made by hand by a group of the best craftsmen at the time in 170 AD.

But that was all. This hand-made”steam engine” was too expensive and not replicable at all, let alone mass production.

Compared with the various magical creations in the magic world, the biggest advantage of clockwork machinery is its low cost.

“That’s right.” Seeing Dumbledore asking this question, Ye Ting gave a straightforward answer. Anyway, Dumbledore would not compete with him for business.

“‘~In fact, the cost of a clockwork beetle is three galleons.”The cost of a complete micro-detection subunit is five galleons, but if the precision detector is replaced with an ordinary detector and the real-time signal transmission device is not installed, its cost will be reduced.

In addition, after removing important components, the weight of the body is reduced, and the requirements for flight load and other aspects are also reduced, so it can be further reduced.

After seven or eight reductions, the cost is reduced to three galleons.

“……”

Dumbledore opened his mouth but said nothing.

He thought the cost of this clockwork beetle would be very low, but he never thought it would be so low!

If a clockwork beetle can be made with this little cost, then the alchemical machine invented by Ye Ting is really greater than he imagined.

But on the other hand, this little wizard genius is really a genius, but he is also really black-hearted.

He dares to sell it at the cost price by adding a zero… This is no longer an ordinary profiteer.

At this moment, Dumbledore, and the principals behind him, looked at Ye Ting with particularly complicated expressions.

You can’t judge a person by his appearance.

“cough cough……”

Dumbledore broke the brief silence. He did not intend to directly comment on Ye Ting’s”business behavior”, but turned the topic to the field of alchemy.

“Anyway, Nico was very impressed after seeing your work, and he also specially asked me to pass a letter to you. I think you should be able to become good friends.”

As he said, he stuffed a yellowed parchment to Ye Ting.

In the following time, Ye Ting and Dumbledore had an in-depth exchange on clockwork machinery and related alchemy technology. Dumbledore’s curiosity was greatly satisfied, and Ye Ting was also happy to share his insights and experiences, and received a lot of advice from Dumbledore.

The conversation ended until it was getting dark.[]

As soon as Ye Ting left the principal’s office, the portraits (Li De’s) who had been silent at first became active and enthusiastically discussed what they had just witnessed.

“Is that guy really that powerful?”

A full-bearded wizard was the first to break the silence. He frowned, obviously doubting what he had just seen.”I still can’t believe that you can praise him so much just based on an alchemical product?”

The name”Quentin Trimble” was engraved on the frame. He was an expert in defense against the dark arts. His book”The Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Defense” was a textbook for first to fourth graders at Hogwarts.

“His speech and behavior are not like those of a twelve-year-old child.”

Mrs. Antonia Chrisworth said gracefully,”At least when I was eleven, I was not as good at business as him.”

Headmaster Dumbledore smiled slightly, and his glasses flashed a strange light.”Mr. Ye Ting is indeed very smart and…quite special. His talent in the field of magic is the first time I have ever seen it in my life.”

“I felt that there was something wrong with this guy the last time I saw him.”Phineas Black said bluntly

“Oh? This makes me curious, Phineas, why don’t you like that child either?”

Dai Lisi Devonte raised her thick wand made of birch branches, with a hint of threat in her tone,”Is it because he is a Muggle-born?”

Phineas yawned, pretending to be just woken up, rubbing his eyes,”Ah? What did I say just now? Why don’t I remember it?……”

He obviously doesn’t want to continue this topic, because it may be disadvantageous to him.

I apologize to all my readers. Today, the author has been addicted to a three-word game and can’t extricate himself. I started writing crazily very late.

There may be only two updates today. If that’s the case, I will make up for it tomorrow.
